You gotta work for them.

Ha. Ha.

Let's see you try it.

I was right.

You do like me.

You gotta have enemies...

...to know who your friends are.

Mm, toe jam.

And now that my space aliens

have disappeared...

...I have at least one new friend:

Loogie.

In fact, he's really the one

to blame for all this.

So let's go all the way back

to the real beginning...

...with Loogie, his brothers...

...and the storm that started it all.

I'm tired of video games

and I'm bored with TV.

Let's do something.

We've been through this before.

There's nothing else to do.

Come play video games with us.

We need a third person.

Let's go on an outdoor adventure.

There's a huge thunderstorm. Look.

The biggest rainstorm in Texas history.

Well, folks, it looks like we're...

That's strange.

It's raining everywhere else.

What the?

Outside! Bring the treasure map!

Wait a minute, guys.

What are we gonna do about Baby?

It's in baby monitor mode.

If she wakes up,

I'll hear it on my Black Box...

...and we'll come back

and give her a bottle.

Huh.

I don't get it.

What happened to the storm?

Maybe it's global warming.

This sucks.

Even my brain feels hot.

I read once

that yawning cools the brain.

Well, just keep talking

and I'll start yawning for sure.

Look at that!

You know what's at the end

of a rainbow, don't you?

- Skittles?

- No, a pot of gold!

Treasure!

- Awesome!

- Let's go!

- Guys, look. It's the end of the rainbow.

- No way.

Or the beginning of the rainbow.

What?

This rock wasn't here before.

What if the rain dropped

the rock from the sky...

...and the sun comes out,

hits the rock...

...creating this prismatic separation

of the light from the sun...

...thus causing a rainbow.

Okay, Dr. Dumb Butt.

Feels powerful.

What do you think it is?

I wish I knew.

It's a wishing rock.

How do you know?

It just told me.

Okay, then, wish for something.

I wish for a never-ending supply

of chocolate bars.

Huh?

Well, there's one.

And another and another.

And two more. And another.

- Cool. A never-ending pocketful of candy.

- Do you realize what we have here?

- Lots of chocolate.

- No. This is...

- Hey.

- This is mine.

It was my idea to go on an adventure,

so the wishing rock belongs to me.

Don't make any wishes, Loogie.

We don't even know the rules yet.

I mean, that thing doesn't even

come with any instructions.

Yeah, no strategy guide,

cheat codes, or nothing.

I wish for the instructions.

We can't read all that.

I wish for the short version

of the instructions.

What's it say?

Pfft. "Make a wish."

Then I wish for a fortress.

With a canyon around it

filled with man-eating crocodiles...

...and venomous snakes
